CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

The present application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2013-0003825 filed on Jan. 14, 2013, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND

1. Field

The embodiment relates to a light emitting device and a lighting apparatus having the same.

2. Background

Light emitting devices, for example, light emitting diodes (LEDs) are semiconductor devices that convert electric energy into light and extensively used as next-generation light sources in place of conventional fluorescent lamps and glow lamps.

Since the LED generates the light by using the semiconductor device, the LED may represent low power consumption as compared with the glow lamp that generates the light by heating tungsten or the fluorescent lamp that generates the light by urging ultraviolet ray, which is generated through the high-voltage discharge, to collide with a fluorescent substance.

In addition, the LED generates the light by using the potential gap of the semiconductor device, so the LED is advantageous as compared with conventional light sources in terms of life span, response characteristics, and environmental-friendly requirement.

In this regard, various studies have been performed to replace the conventional light sources with the LEDs. The LEDs are increasingly used as light sources for lighting devices, such as various lamps used indoors and outdoors, liquid crystal displays, electric signboards, and street lamps.

The above references are incorporated by reference herein where appropriate for appropriate teachings of additional or alternative details, features and/or technical background.

Hereinafter, embodiments will be clearly comprehended by those skilled in the art with reference to accompanying drawings and the description of the embodiments. In the description of the embodiments, it will be understood that, when a layer (or film), a region, a pattern, or a structure is referred to as being “on” or “under” another substrate, another layer (or film), another region, another pad, or another pattern, it can be “directly” or “indirectly” over the other substrate, layer (or film), region, pad, or pattern, or one or more intervening layers may also be present. Such a position of the layer has been described with reference to the drawings.

The thickness and size of each layer shown in the drawings may be exaggerated, omitted or schematically drawn for the purpose of convenience or clarity. In addition, the size of elements does not utterly reflect an actual size. The same reference numbers will be assigned the same elements throughout the drawings.

Hereinafter, a light emitting device according to the embodiment will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a light emitting device according to a first embodiment. FIG. 2 is a side sectional view taken along line A-A′ of the light emitting device of FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is a side sectional view taken along line B-B′ of the light emitting device of FIG. 1. FIGS. 4 to 7 are side views showing first to fourth side surfaces of the light emitting device of FIG. 1.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 7, the light emitting device 100 includes a plurality of lead frames 121 and 131 including a first lead frame 121 having a first bonding region 20 and a second lead frame 131 having a second bonding region 30, a first body 141 coupled to the lead frames 121 and 131, a second body 151 formed on the first body 141 and of a material different from that of the first body 141 and having a first opening 111, a light emitting chip 161 provided on the second bonding region 30 of the second lead frame 131, which is exposed in the first opening 111, and a transmissive resin layer 171 formed in the first opening 111 and surrounding the light emitting chip 161.

In the light emitting device 100, a length L1 in a first direction X may be equal to or different from a length L2 in a second direction Y. The first and second directions (X and Y) may be perpendicular to each other. The length L1 in the first direction X refers to a distance between both ends of the first and second lead frames 121 and 131 and may be formed longer than the width of the first or second body 141 or 151. The length L2 in the second direction Y may be equal to the length of the first or second lead frame 121 or 131 and may be formed to be equal to the width of the first or second body 141 or 151 in the second direction Y. In this case, the direction perpendicular to the top surface of the light emitting chip 161 may refer to the normal direction Z of the light emitting chip 161.

An outer part of the first lead frame 121 may protrude outward than a first side surface 11 of the first or second body 141 or 151. An outer part of the second lead frame 131 may protrude outward than a second side surface 12 of the first or second body 141 or 151. Thus, the adhesion of the first and second frames 121 and 131 to an adhesive member such as solder paste may be improved.

The width L3 of the light emitting device 100 or the widths of the bodies 141 and 151 is or are a gap between the first and second side surfaces 11 and 12 of the first or second body 141 or 151. The length L2 of the bodies 141 and 151 is a gap between the third and fourth side surfaces 13 and 14 of the first or second body 141 or 151 and is a length in the second direction Y. The width of the first body 141 may be equal to or wider than that of the second body 151. Further, the lengths L2 of the first and second body 141 and 151 may be equal to each other or the length of the first body 141 may be longer than that of the second body 151. The light reflective efficacy may be improved due to the area covered by the first body 141.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the first body 141 is coupled onto the first and second lead frames 121 and 131 and the second body 151 is coupled onto first body 141.

The first body 141 has a predetermined thickness and is physically coupled to the first and second lead frames 121 and 131, such that the first body 141 supports the first and second lead frames 121 and 131. A part of the first body 141 may be aligned in line with the bottom surfaces of the first and second lead frames 121 and 131. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first body 141 includes an open region 112 so that the first and second bonding regions 20 and 30 of the first and second lead frames 121 and 131 are exposed through the open region 112.

The first body 141 may include a material representing reflectance higher than transmittance with respect to the wavelength emitted from the light emitting chip 161. For example, the first body 141 may include a material representing at least 70% or more of reflectance. If the material constituting the first body 141 has at least 70% or more of reflectance, the material constituting the first body 141 may include a non-transmissive material. The first body 141 may be formed by using a resin-based insulating material, such as PPA (polyphthalamide). The first body 141 may be formed by using silicon, epoxy resin, thermosetting resin including a plastic material, a high heat-resistance material or a high light-resistance material. The silicon includes white resin. In addition, an acid anhydride, an antioxidant, a release agent, a light reflective material, an inorganic filler, a hardening catalyst, a light stabilizer, a lubricant, or titanium dioxide may be selectively added to the first body 141. The first body 141 may be formed by using at least one selected from the group consisting of epoxy resin, modified epoxy resin, silicon resin, modified silicon resin, acryl resin and urethane resin. For instance, the first body 141 can be formed by using B-stage solid epoxy resin composition, which can be obtained by mixing the epoxy resin, such as triglycidylisocyanurate or hydride bisphenol A diglycidylether, with the acid anhydride promoter, such as hexahydro phthalic anhydride, 3-methyl hexahydro phthalic anhydride or 4-methyl hexahydro phthalic anhydride, and then partially hardening the mixture after adding DBU(1.8-Diazabicyclo(5,4,0)undecene-7) serving as a hardening accelerator and ethylene glycol, titanium oxide pigment or glass fiber serving as a promoter to the epoxy resin, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

In addition, a light shielding material or a dispersing agent is added in the first body 141, thereby reducing transmitting light. In addition, in order to have a predetermined function, the first body 141 includes at least one selected from the group consisting of a dispersing agent, pigments, phosphors, reflective materials, light shielding materials, a light stabilizer, and a lubricant mixed with thermal setting resin.

The first body 141 may include a resin material, such as silicon or epoxy to which metallic oxide is added. The metallic oxide may include at least one of TiO₂, SiO₂, and Al₂O₃. The metallic material may be added to the first body 141 at the rate of 5 wt % or more. Thus, the first body 141 may be formed of a reflective material.

The second body 151 may be formed on a surface of the first body 141. The second body 151 may include a transmissive material. For example, the second body 151 may include silicon-based resin or epoxy-based resin. The second body 151 may be formed through an injection molding scheme of an EMC (Epoxy Molding Compound) scheme. For example, the second body 151 may be formed of a transmissive material, such as transmissive resin, having no impurity, having the transmittance of 70% or more. The second body 151 allows the light emitted from the light emitting chip 161 or reflected from the first body 141 to effectively pass therethrough.

An area of the entire top surface of the first body 141 may be greater than that of the entire bottom surface of the second body 151, and the top surface of the first body 141 may be formed lower than a top surface of the light emitting chip 161. Thus, the light traveling toward the top surface of the first body 141 may reflect to the second body 151, so that the optical loss may be reduced.

The first opening 111 may be provided in the second body 151. The first opening 111 may correspond to an open region 112 of the first body 141, or may be greater than the open region 112 of the first body 141.

The side surface 51 of the first opening 111 may be inclined or perpendicular to the bottom of the first opening 111. The side surface 51 of the first opening 111 covers the circumstance of the first opening 111.

The first and second bonding regions 20 and 30 of the first and second lead frames 121 and 131 are exposed through the bottom of the first opening 111. A gap part 142 is provided between the first and second bonding regions 20 and 30. The gap part 142 allows the first and second bonding regions 20 and 30 to be separated from each other. The gap part 142 may be formed of a material of the first body 141 and may block the leaking light.

A first extension part 123, which protrudes in an opposite direction of the second bonding region 30 or a direction of the first side surface 11, may be formed in the first bonding region 20. The first extension part 123 may have a hemispherical shape when viewed from the top.

A second extension part 133, which protrudes in an opposite direction of the first bonding region 20 or a direction of the second side surface 12, may be formed in the second bonding region 30. The second extension part 133 may have a hemispherical shape when viewed from the top. A size of the second extension part 133 may be different from the first extension part 123. A diameter of the second extension part 133 may be narrower than anyone width of the light emitting chip 161. A curvature R2 of the first extension part 123 may be equal to or less than that of the second extension part 133.

When explaining a contour of the first opening 111, a side surface, which is connected to two side surfaces corresponding to each other, may be curved. The curved surface is connected to the curved surface of the first and second extension parts 123 and 133 having a hemispherical shape.

The light emitting chip 161 is mounted on the second bonding region 30 of the second lead frame 131, and the light emitting chip 161 may be adhesive onto the second bonding region 30, for example, with conductive or insulation adhesive.

The light emitting chip 161 is connected to the bonding region 20 through a first wire 165 and is connected to the second bonding region 30 through a second wire 166. A part of the first wire 165 is disposed in the first extension part 123 of the first bonding region 20 and a part of the second wire 166 is disposed in the second extension part 133 of the second bonding region 30. That is, the first and second extension parts 123 and 133 are regions in which balls of the first and second wires 165 and 166 are located. Further, a space, in which the wires 165 and 166 are bonded to the light emitting chip 161, may be provided without increasing an area of the first opening 111.

The first and second lead frames 121 and 131 include a metallic material, for example, at least one of titanium (Ti), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), gold (Au), chrome (Cr), tantalum (Ta), platinum (Pt), zinc (Sn), silver (Ag) and phosphor (P) or an alloy including at least two of the above elements. The first and second lead frames 121 and 131 may be formed in a single layer or may be prepared as mutually different metallic layers, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. The first and second lead frames 121 and 131 may include a metallic material, for example, at least one of titanium (Ti), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), gold (Au), chrome (Cr), tantalum (Ta), platinum (Pt), zinc (Sn), silver (Ag) and phosphor (P) or an alloy including at least two of the above elements. If one of the first and second lead frames 121 and 131 includes an alloy, the alloy may include a Cu alloy, such as Cu—Sn alloy, Cu—Fe alloy, Cu—Cr alloy, or Cu—Ag—Fe alloy. A thickness T1 of the first and second lead frames 121 and 131 may be in the range of 0.23 mm to 1.5 mm, for example in the range of 0.25 mm to 0.5 mm.

Hereinafter the structures of the first and second lead frames 121 and 131 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 14. FIGS. 11 and 12 are front and rear views of the first and second lead frames 121 and 131. FIGS. 13 and 14 are side sectional views taken along lines C-C′ and D-D′ of FIG. 11, respectively.

Referring to FIGS. 11 to 14, the first lead frame 121 includes a first frame part 125 having the first bonding region 20, a first lead part 129 spaced apart from the first frame part 125, a first hole 22 provided between the first frame part 125 and the first lead part 129, and first and second connection parts 126 and 128 for connecting the first frame 125 to the first lead part 129. The first hole 22 is disposed between the first frame part 125 and the first lead part 129, and the first and second connection parts 126 and 128 are disposed at an outer part of the first hole 22. Since a thickness of the first and second connection parts 126 and 128 may be thinner than that of the first frame part 125 and the first lead part 129, an area making contact with the first body 141 may be increased.

The first frame part 125 includes the first bonding region 20. The first frame part 125 has a length equal to the length L2 of the first lead frame 121 and is connected to the first and second connection parts 126 and 128. Both ends of the first frame part 125 include first and second protrusions P1 and P2. The first protrusion P1 protrudes outward than the first connection part 126 from the first frame part 125, and as shown in FIG. 6, is exposed to the third side surface 13 of the first body 141. The second protrusion P2 protrudes outward than the second connection part 128 from the first frame part 125, and as shown in FIG. 7, is exposed to the fourth side surface 14 of the first body 141. The first and second protrusions P1 and P2 may allow the first lead frame 121 to be supported on a side surface of the first body 141.

A region corresponding to the second lead frame 131 and a recess region 21 may be provided in the bottom of the first frame part 125. The recess region 21 may be wider than the width of the first opening 111. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 9, a part of the gap part 142 extends to the recess region 21 so that the width of the bottom surface of the gap part 142 may be greater the width of the top surface of the gap part 142.

In this case, a central part of the first frame part 125 may protrude toward the second lead frame 131. A gap between the central part of the first frame part 125 and the second lead frame 131 may be narrower than the gap G1 between the first and second lead frames 121 and 131.

As shown in FIG. 12, the recess regions 28A and 28B, which are recessed lower than the bottom surface of the first lead frame 121, may be provided to the first and second protrusions P1 and P2, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. The recess regions 28A and 28B may be formed at a depth of 50% or less of the thickness of the first lead frame 121, for example, in the range of 30% to 50%. Thus, the contact area with the second body 151 may be increased due to the recess regions 28A and 28B.

As shown in FIG. 4, a part of the first lead part 129 protrudes toward the first side surface 11 of the first body 141, has a length equal to the length L2 of the first lead frame 121, and is connected to the first and second connection parts 126 and 128.

A recess region 23, which is lower than the bottom surface of the first lead frame 121, is provided to the bottom surface of the first lead part 129. The recess region 23 may be formed at a depth (T5 of FIG. 9) of 50% or less of the thickness of the first lead frame 121, for example, in the range of 30% to 50%. A length of the recess region 23 may correspond to the length of the first lead part 129 or the length L2 of the first frame 121. The recess region 23 of the first lead part 129 may extend to parts of the first and second connection parts 126 and 128.

A plurality of coupling holes 29, which are formed in the form of a via-hole or through hole, are provided to the first lead part 129 to be coupled to the first body 141. The coupling holes 29 may be spaced apart from an outside of the first hole 22 to support the first body 141.

The first hole 22 may have a width D2 of 25% or more of the width D11 of the first lead frame 121, for example in the range of 27% to 40%, and a length L4 of 50% or more of the length L2 of the first lead frame 121, for example, in the range of 60% or more. An area of the first hole 22 may be greater than the bottom area of the first opening 111 and may be 30% or more of the top surface of the first lead frame 121. In addition, the area of the first hole 22 may be greater than the area of the bottom surface of the light emitting chip 161.

The width D2 of the first hole 22 may be in the range of 0.81 mm±0.05 mm. The width D11 of the first lead frame 121 may be in the range of 2.25 mm±0.5 mm.

Thus, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 9, a part 43 of the first body 141 is disposed in the first hole 22. The recess region 23 of the first lead part 129 is connected to the first hole 22, and the part 43 of the first body 141 coupled to the first hole 22 extends. In this case, as shown in FIG. 9, the width D3 of the recess region 23 adjacent to the first hole 22 may be 50% or more of the thickness of the first lead frame 121, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

The contact area of the first body 141 with the first lead frame 121 may be increased, so that the coupling strength of the first body 141 which has a thickness thinner than that of the second body 151 may be enhanced.

The first and second connection parts 126 and 128 allow the first frame part 125 and the first lead part 129 to connect with each other outside the first hole 22. A recess region 22A, which is recessed lower than the top surface of the first lead frame 121, is provided in the top surface of the first connection part 126, and a recess region 22B, which is recessed lower than the top surface of the first lead frame 121, is provided in the top surface of the second connection part 128. The recess regions 22A and 22B may extend to a part of the first frame part 125.

The second lead frame 131 includes a second frame part 135 having the second bonding region 30, a second lead part 139 spaced apart from the second frame part 135, second and third holes 32A and 32B provided between the second frame part 135 and the second lead part 139, and third to fifth connection parts 136 to 138 for connecting the second frame 125 to the second lead part 139. The third to fifth connection parts 136 to 138 may be regions recessed lower than the top surface of the second lead frame 131 or may have thicknesses thinner than those of the second frame part 135 and the second lead part 139.

The second frame part 135 includes the second bonding region 30. The second frame part 135 has a length equal to the length L2 of the second lead frame 131 and is connected to the third to fifth connection parts 136 to 138. Both ends of the second frame part 135 include third and fourth protrusions P3 and P4. The third protrusion P3 protrudes outward than the third connection part 136 from the second frame part 135, and as shown in FIG. 6, is exposed to the third side surface 13 of the first body 141. The fourth protrusion P4 protrudes outward than the fifth connection part 138 from the second frame part 135, and as shown in FIG. 7, is exposed to the fourth side surface 14 of the first body 141. The third and fourth protrusions P3 and P4 may allow the second lead frame 131 to be supported on a side surface of the first body 141.

The second frame part 135 includes concavo-convex structures 30A and 30B formed at a region which makes contact with the second and third holes 32A and 32B. The concavo-convex structures 30A and 30B may protrude toward the second and third holes 32A and 32B, and recess regions 33 and 34 may be formed in the bottom surfaces of the concave structures. Parts 46 and 47 of the first body 141 are coupled to the recess regions 33 and 34.

A first recess part 31 is formed around the second bonding region 30 in the top surface of the second frame part 135. The first recess part 31 is formed to cover the circumference of the second bonding region 30. A part 44 of the first body 141 is coupled to the first recess part 31. As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 9 and 10, a part of the first recess part 31 is exposed through the bottom of the first opening 111.

In this case, the second extension part 133 protrudes toward the fourth connection part 137 of the first recess part 31. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, a width F1 of the second recess part 31 is narrower than a width F2 of another region.

As shown in FIG. 12, the recess regions 38A and 38B, which are recessed lower than the bottom surface of the second lead frame 131, may be provided to the third and fourth protrusions P3 and P4, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. The recess regions 38A and 38B may be formed at a depth of 50% or less of the thickness of the second lead frame 131, for example, in the range of 30% to 50%.

As shown in FIG. 4, a part of the second lead part 139 protrudes toward the first side surface 11 of the first body 141, has a length equal to the length L2 of the second lead frame 131, and is connected to the third to fifth connection parts 136 to 138.

As shown in FIG. 12, recess regions 32E and 32F, which is lower than the bottom surface of the second lead frame 131, is provided to the bottom surface of the second lead part 139. The recess region 23 may be formed at a depth of 50% or less of the thickness of the first lead frame 121, for example, in the range of 30% to 50%. The recess regions 32E and 32F are spaced apart from each other and connected to the second and third holes 32A and 32B. The recess regions 32E and 32F of the second lead part 139 may extend to parts of the third and fifth connection parts 136 and 138.

A plurality of coupling holes 39, which are formed in the form of a via-hole, are provided to the second lead part 139 to be coupled to the first body 141. The coupling holes 39 may be spaced apart from an outside of the second hole 32 to enhance the coupling with the first body 141.

The diameters of the second and third holes 32A and 32B may be formed in the range of 80% to 120% of the width of the second lead part 139 and wider than the diameter D2 of the first hole. The diameters of the second and third holes 32A and 32B may be 15% or more of the width D12 of the second lead frame 131. The width D12 of the second lead frame 131 may be 15% or more of the width D12 of the second lead frame 131. The width D12 of the second lead frame 131 may be in the range of 3.3 mm±0.3 mm, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

The second and third holes 32A and 32B are separated from each other by the fourth connection part 137 and disposed in a corner region of the second frame part 135. As shown in FIG. 8, the first body 141 may be coupled into the second and third holes 32A and 32B. The contact area of the first body 141 with the second lead frame 131 may be increased, so that the coupling strength of the first body 141, a thickness of which is relatively thinner than that of the second body 151, may be enhanced.

The second hole 32A is disposed between the third and fourth connection parts 136 and 137, and the third hole 32B is disposed between the fourth and fifth connection parts 137 and 138.

The third connection part 136 includes a recess region 32D in the top surface thereof. The fourth connection part 137 is disposed between the third and fifth connection parts 136 and 138, and a recess region 32 is provided in the top surface of the fourth connection part 137. The fifth connection part 138 includes a recess region 32C in the top surface thereof. The first body 141, which is coupled to the fourth connection part 137 and the second and third holes 32A and 32B, supports the second bonding region 30 in which the light emitting chip is mounted.

When explaining the structure of the first body 141, the first body 141 is coupled into the first hole 22 and the recess regions 21, 23, 22A, 22B, 28A and 28B of the first lead frame 121, the second and third holes 32A and 32B and the recess regions 21, 32C, 32D, 32E,32F,33,34,38A and 38B of the second lead frame 131.

A thickness T2 of the first body 141 may be 1.25 to 2 times greater than the thickness of the first lead frame 121. The highest position of the top surface of the first body 141 may have a height (T2-T1) lower than the thickness T1 of the first and second lead frames 121 and 131 when measured from the top surfaces of the first and second lead frames 121 and 131. For example, the maximum height of the first body 141 may have a thickness in the range of 0.2 mm˜0.25 mm when measured from the top surfaces of the first and second lead frames 121 and 131. An outer part 42 of the first body 141 may have a thickness thinner than those of the first and second lead frames 121 and 131. The outer part 42 of the first body 141 may be located at a position higher than the inner part 41 or may be formed at a thickness thicker than that of the inner part 41. The outer part 42 of the first body 141 may be located lower than the top surface of the light emitting chip 161. An area of the top surface of the inner part 41 of the first body 141 may be greater than that of the top surface of the outer part 42.

The low position of the top surface of the first body 141 may exist on the top surface of an inner surface 41A of the first body 141, and a height of the low position may be equal to the height of the inner surface 41A. The height of the inner surface 41A may correspond to a thickness in the range of 45 μm˜60 μm when measured from the top surface of the first lead frame 121. When the thickness is too thin, the corresponding part in the inner surface 41A of the first body 141 may not be formed or broken, so it is preferable to form the inner surface 41A at the thickness of the above range. The inner surface 41A of the first body 141 may be formed at a thickness thinner than that of the light emitting chip 161. For example, the inner surface 41A of the first body 141 may be formed at a thickness of 50% or less of the thickness of the light emitting chip 161, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. In addition, the inner surface 41A of the first body 141 may be formed to have a height lower than that of the top surface of the light emitting chip 161, so that the light emitted from the first light emitting chip 161 in a side direction may be effectively reflected. The height of the inner surface 41A may be in the range of 0.05 mm±0.01 mm.

The inner surface 41A of the first body 141 may be perpendicular or inclined to the top surface of the first lead frame 121, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

As shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, the first body 141 may include the open region 112, the inner part 41 and the outer part 42. The open region 112 may be equal to or narrower than the bottom area of the first opening 111. When explaining the width of the open region 112, the width E2 in the first direction X may be wider than the width E6 in the second direction Y. The widths E2 and E6 of the open region 112 are a gap between inner surfaces 41A corresponding to each other. The width E2 in the first direction X may be 1.2 to 1.5 times greater than the width E6 in the second direction Y. The width E2 may be in the range of 1.91 mm±0.2 mm and the width E6 may be in the range of 1.41 mm±0.2 mm.

A curvature R2 of the curved surface of the open region 112 corresponding to the first extension part 12 may be in the range of 0.26±0.05 mm, and a curvature R1 of the curved surface connected to the first extension part 123 may be 3 times greater than the curvature R2, for example, in the range of 0.81±0.05 mm.

A top surface of the inner part 41 of the first body 141 may be inclined to the top surface of the first and second lead frames 121 and 131 at a predetermined angle θ1, for example, 5 degrees or less or in the range of 2 degrees to 5 degrees. The inner part 41 of the first body 141 may have a height lower than the outer part 42 and may be inclined, so that the incident light may be effectively reflected. The outer circumference of the inner part 41 of the first body 141 may be formed to have a contour of a circular shape when viewed from the top, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. As another example, the outer circumference of the inner part 41 of the first body 141 may be formed in a polygonal shape or an atypical shape, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

As shown in FIG. 9, the minimum thickness T4 of a region corresponding to the first hole 22 of the first lead frame 121 in the top surface of the inner part 41 of the first body 141 may be 0.05 mm or more, for example, in the range of 0.05-0.08 mm. The thickness T4 may prevent the coupling strength of the first hole 22 to the part 43 of the first body 141 from being deteriorated.

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, when explaining the inner part 41 of the first body 141, a straight-line distance in the first direction (X) is the distances E4 and E5 between the inner surface 41A and the first and second side surfaces 11 and 12, which may be equal to or different from each other. A straight-line distance in the second direction (Y) is the distances E8 between the inner surface 41A and the third and fourth side surfaces 13 and 14.

The inner part 41 of the first body 141 may be the bottom of the concave part 113 concaved with respect to the outer part 42. The width E1 of the concave part 113 may be narrower than the width L3 of the first body 141 and may be formed at 80% or more of the width L3 of the first body 141. The width E1 of the concave part 113 may be formed at 75% or more of the width D1 of the light emitting device, for example, 4.5 mm or more.

The outer part 42 of the first body 141 may include a flat surface or an inclined surface. A height the top surface of the outer part 42 of the first body 141 may be lower than that of the top surface of the light emitting chip 161. The outer part 42 of the first body 141 may be formed to have a predetermined height T3 from the inner part 41, and the height T3 may be in the range of 0.05 mm±0.02 mm.

As shown in FIG. 8, the region, which is the most adjacent to the concave part 113 in the first and second side surfaces 11 and 12 of the first body 141 may convexly protrude along a curvature of the concave part 113 in an outer direction, the embodiment is not limited thereto.

Meanwhile, when explaining the second body 151, the second body 151 is formed on the first body 141 and is spaced apart from the first and second lead frames 121 and 131. The thickness of the second body 151 may be thicker than the thickness T2 of the first body 161, for example, 1.5 times greater than the thickness T2, or may be thicker than that of the light emitting chip 161 and thicker than the high points of the wires 166 and 167 of FIG. 2. For example, the second body 151 may be formed at a thickness in the range of 250 μm to 550 μm, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. The light emitting chip may be formed at a thickness in the above range for light extraction efficiency. The light emitting chip 161 may be formed at a thickness in the range of 80 μm to 400 μm, for example, in the range of 80 μm to 150 μm, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

The upper portion of the second body 151 may be formed in a concavo-convex structure, an unevenness structure, or a step difference structure. An adhesive layer may be disposed between the top surfaces of the first and second bodies 141 and 151 to bond the top surfaces of the first and second bodies 141 and 151.

The light emitting chip 161 may be disposed on the second bonding region 30 of the second lead frame 131, may be connected to the first and second connection parts 123 and 133 of the first and second lead frames 121 and 131 through the first and second wires 165 and 166. The light emitting chip 161 receives power through the first and second lead frames 121 and 131 to be driven. As another example, the light emitting chip 161 is bonded into the second bonding region 30 of the second lead frame 131 through a die bonding scheme and may be connected to the first extension part 123 of the first lead frame 121 through the first wire 165. The light emitting chip 161 may be bonded to the first lead frame 121 and the second lead frame 131 through a flip scheme.

The active layer may be formed by alternately arranging well/barrier layers. For example, the well/barrier layers may be formed at two to 30 cycles of the stack structure of InGaN/GaN, GaN/AlGaN, InGaN/AlGaN, InGaN/InGaN, or InAlGaN/InAlGaN. In addition, the active layer may include semiconductors such as ZnS, ZnSe, SiC, GaP, GaAlAs, AlN, InN, and AlInGaP, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. The light emission wavelength of the active layer may be emitted as one selected from an ultraviolet band light to a visible band light, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

The open region 112 of the first body 141 and the first opening 111 of the second body 151 are filled with the transmissive resin layer 171, and the light emitting chip 161 is covered by the transmissive resin layer 171.

The reflective index of the transmissive resin layer 171 may be 1.6 or less, and the reflective index of the second body 151 may be equal to or less than that of the transmissive resin layer 171. In addition, the difference between the reflective index of the second body 151 and the reflective index of the transmissive resin layer 171 may be ±0.2, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

The transmissive resin layer 171 may include at least one of a filler, a pigment, a diffusing agent, a phosphor material, and a reflective material. The fluorescent material mixed with the transmissive resin layer 171 absorbs a part of the light emitted from the light emitting chip 161 to convert the wavelength of the light.
